Popular Front of Tunisia

The Popular Front is a socialist and populist political party in Tunisia, founded on 7 October 2012 in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution. The party united twelve leftist parties, including several Ba'athist and progressive parties, and it proved to be a significant alternative to the leftist Nidaa Tounes party. It gained popularity after its leader, Chokri Belaid, was assassinated in 2013 for his views on secularism. The Popular Front won 15/217 Assembly of the Representatives of the People seats in the 2014 legislative election.
